| Summary: | Boko Haram is the most bloodthirsty terrorist group on the planet. Their objective: establish a Caliphate and impose sharia -- Islamic law -- in the heart of Africa. Since the kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in a northern Nigerian school in April of 2014, the name Boko Haram has become globally notorious. Rape of women and young girls, hold-ups, looting, massacres. In an attempt to understand who these terrorists are, how they operate, what kind of a threat they represent to Africa and the rest of the world, we travelled to Nigeria and Cameroon, meeting former prisoners, repented jihadists and troops on the frontline.
